you can get the same bundle from newegg and get it 60$ cheaper and so not worth buying from here if they keep the same price... https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.3755683 link for newegg bundle

DivyanshNot quite the same bundle. It's cheaper but it's an AM4 motherboard that's $135 individually. If someone's looking for an AMD Ryzen build though it's pretty good and gets you a GTX 1080 G1 GPU for roughly $610, which is pretty good and not too far from the actual MSRP for a custom GTX 1080 OC card.

DivyanshAs already stated, as long as you live in the US you can have very interesting prices, in France however for example, the price of the GPU alone is actually more expensive than the bundle.

RSF_DeusYeah, that kind of sucks. And a lot of us entitled Master PC Race in the US sit here grumbling about inflated GPU and RAM prices.

DivyanshThanks for the tip. I ended up getting the Newegg deal and was looking to upgrade to a new motherboard from my 6th gen Intel. Went with Team Red this time as I know this Mobo will be more future proof as AMD said they'll be supporting it at least five more years, according to their road map unlike Intel. And yes, I realize stock for stock, clock for clock the 8th gen Intel beats the Ryzen equivalent for gaming, but I can have an OC'd CPU for much cheaper price that meets or beats the Intel i5 at the same price point in gaming and comes with a good factory cooler, and is a beast at it's price point for video editing and other work applications. Took the extra money I saved and upgraded to a 2TB 7200RPM storage drive from my old 1TB SSHD I'd had stuck in my old Frankenstein rig. In addition, I game at 1440p and higher resolutions so the GPU will be the limiting factor before the CPU will be, for the time being.
